Lesson: in the great struggle for survival, punk rock gets defeated by hockey pucks.

To quote: “The building has been vacant for a few years.”
So — in the great struggle for survival, punk rock got defeated a few years ago.

Cass corridor, cork town, Quickenville, all subsidized by neighborhoods that get little to nothing

The neighborhoods have had nothing but property and income tax bills since 2006. The garbage has been picked up regularly, but we have to pay twice to make that happen.

The good thing about a punk bar, is you can make one anywhere that is still standing with plumbing, lights, and a good roof. No heat needed, no AC needed, the more gnarly and half way decaying the better.

So not a huge loss, you can basically turn any store front in detroit into a punk club as long as it has not been scrapped, flooded, and torched.

I am surprised no one has taken the marquee, surprised the old owners or a regular did not steal it.
